Vietnamese in Laos support dam collapse victims

The Vietnamese community in Laos has donated cash and gifts worth 15,000 USD to help people affected by the recent hydro-power dam collapse in Laos.

The Vietnamese Consulate General in Savannakhet province gave 1,000 USD as disaster relief. Vietnamese businesses and Buddhists in Laos are also fundraising for the victims. The Sepien-Senamnoy hydropower dam in Attapeu province gave way last Monday, leaving more than 100 people dead or missing, and more than 3,000 others homeless.
